There also is a role for topical therapy for the skin that involves topical steroids or topical immunosuppressants and even topical steroids for the intestinal tract in the form of nonabsorbable oral steroids.”Antin pointed out that although transplantation has been used in practice for over 40 years there is still no standard schedule for duration of aGVHD treatment. 0000009043 00000 n

The manifestation of aGVHD occurs within the first 100 days following transplant and is one of the leading causes of short-term mortality.“In essence what is going on is that the T cells that are transferred from the donor to the recipient recognize minor histocompatibility antigens in the context of a conditioning regimen and in the underlying inflammatory processes and then generate an immune response that’s essentially identical to what would be generated if there were an infection,” said Antin.The skin, liver, and GI organ systems are targeted because their normal function is to generate immune response as a barrier to the environment and they have the highest percentage of dendritic cells, Antin noted.Cutler noted that staging and grading the reactions seen in the organ systems provide a way for transplant specialists to assess severity and potential clinical trial enrollment.Prophylactic therapy for patients undergoing allo-HSCT is a vital factor in managing GVHD. And then we taper 10% per week or something of that order,” he said.“It’s important to recognize that probably up to 50% of our GVHD patients at some time are going to require a second-line agent,” said Cutler. 0000006382 00000 n

There’s the element of resting the intestinal tract and providing parenteral nutrition to feed the patients during their time course in the hospital with acute GVHD, and it’s really a multidisciplinary approach involving our dietitians, our physical therapists, our nurse colleagues, our research coordinators, and our research technicians, and couching expectations with the patients,” he said.Antin added that it is important to bring in colleagues who specialize in infectious disease. 0000191214 00000 n

GVHD Grading (MAGIC Criteria) 3 (Click to Enlarge) Management of aGVHD: Standard of Care. “At [Dana-Farber], we typically use corticosteroids as the first-line therapy for acute GVHD, and we generally start at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg of body weight for recipients,” Cutler said.

Currently, electronic applications are developed supporting accuracy of staging and grading of acute GvHD (Schoemans et al. : Development of a prognostic model for grading chronic graft-versus-host disease. Akpek G, Zahurak ML, Piantadosi S, et al. 0000026866 00000 n

In May 2019, ruxolitinib became the first and only FDA-approved treatment for adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with steroid-refractory aGVHD.“[The agent] will downregulate the body’s response to inflammatory cytokines without completely paralyzing the immune response,” Antin said. 0000193622 00000 n
